Aaathan Graham., of .F.letnere, in the township oflatist.Wnton, in the Noah Riding of this woo .ytattrusn, stood indicted tor unlawfully, tnaliciousiy, and feloniously shooting at _William Jeff, near his dwelling-honse,. at Eletnere tooresaid, and wounding him in the body, Zni the i lal uf Fe bruary last, whereby his life was in great d.inger. Mr. WitAtssis opened the case on behalf of the prosecution; and Mr. RAlltifl, in addressing himself .16 the Jury; stated, that the Prisoner at the bar stood chatged with a capital offence, and he claim ecitheir patticular attention, for, if he etas rightly instrnaed, he had to bring forward such a chain of cireutnstani hi evidence, its very rarely came before a Court otJustice, He trusted that it he made out his case, as stated to him, it would be as satisfactory . Co the Jury 03 a ease m where there is an eye-ental to the fad, or written evidence of it ; ,the evidence of One witness might be suborned, and written evi dence might be fabricated, hut the chain of evidence which he had to lay before them was strong and conclusive, they could not, be deceived. William Jetf and his wire lived at a small farm at Eiemere; the Prisoner at the bar married one of Jetr'sc dough- sers, and they, with their infant child, resided hi the time dwelling-house.; •A probable motive for coin- milting ' a crime sometimes cannot be traced ; but in thil , case a probable motive is manifest.. There was a gall belonging to Jell hanging up in the house, which had recently been used for shooting of rooks; he had deemed it expecti .eltt to It his wife and child, so It, they suight not be near the scene ni ac tint), and the fewer witnesses there, he hsti:thought, the better. On Wedne%day, the 811, otFeptpary he removed his wife and child . to his brother •iti•la w, Chii.topher Wri4ht's, at some holes distahce twin Jett d; !hi.' was an inclement d:ty, bht they must be removed ; after which, on the very day, he applied _ _ to one George Hartley, of Muihatu to lend jilt') a gun to shoot rabbits for bi wife : u hat Occasion had he to borrow a win, when he had tree access to Jeff's gun, and it w.is in a usable state ? His first application to Hartley for a gun was so far back as the i4th Janthery, and hen again on theist of Fe bruary, on which day Hanky to d he would have it ready 4g4liiitit aitotlivr day, and accordingly bor rowed one, and kiTt it till thd prisoner called for it. The Prisoner so row rived, that on his return from Christopher Wri4ht's, on the evening of the Bth of February, he ealkd upon George Hartley, ;and, got the gun. Prisoner returned borne to Jetts about nine o'eloek, at night.; he- took, especial c:r, - e nobody should see !nth with the gun, and that it is most probable he would secrete it in the barn or some of the out-baildingsr. On Saturday, the t ith of February, the day on which Jeff was shot, about, fourech - Lk in the afternoon, the Prisont:r at the bar set out from. Jetfa upon a black mare, to feto home hi 3 will: and chill, intending to say. that night with them at-Cleislopher, Wright's and return .the next dap After learittg4o4,,,he went to this place, and that, upon diti;.rent.pretences.; keeping all the while in the neighbeerhooil p(Elenrre, clearly demonstiateit his plan was to wait untilit was dark, •and then ,etled hia,purpose. lie called at Low lington, at the house of ono Jobit Jackson; the wife was.at home ; the- pri§ener went in and took tea with her, though she did, not ask him ; this clearly skews he Wattled tO wait. his time fill night, 'he terwards ended upon our. Moth'', and wonted to pay fur the carriage of some willows; Morrill was not at home ; he told the , wlfe he was going to El lingstring, and uuder a prcteuce.to get rid of his horse fur a short time, he says to Morrill's wile, " gO to your cowhouse, and leave., my horse." She replied, " perhaps the door is locked.' If sO," says .he, " igloo. it onJer the shed, and when your husband , comes home, tell him to came to the cow-house, for I,waut very much to pay 'filM the tuoney." This was a laudable purpose, had it been sincere; the cow-house is situated near the road the Prisoner would have to go to Eliingstring ; he went to the cow-house, and pat his horse into it, and then stripped off iris great Coat, and left it there; it was a wet night, and he put his coat otf at. a - time when he most : wanted it. What reason could , he have fur • lowing i, bib :coat there, unless it was to • lighten him' to get., more readily back agaid ? The cow-house is about . Wee-quartets of '3 mild froM.

HO had appointed, to meet !Amid at the cow-house ; the soonest there was to 'wait until the othet - came ; Morrill'. wife had told her husband that 'the Prisoner expend to meet hini . ; Morrill ar rived there first, arid while he was cutting write hay fear hitt cattle,' he heaid something running on -_the road like a man's foot; the road was hard;" anti the steps could be heard at seine distance; on a sudden it stopped, no doubt to recover breath ; twit would, ndt be convenient to uppreseh.Morrill without+la.a little while he careen to Mortai never VoisOtte . „ 1 word about the willows; one might have supposed, as he had seemed before voanaions about it, that the first thi n g he did would have been td name them; but not a word was spoken about the debt or the willows-44s • real purpose was to secrete his horse. When first he appeared to Morrill, be was violently fluttered and out of .breath, his bands and face were scratched and bleeding. The ground • betweii Eleeiere and the cow-house is full of thorns and bushes, and strong fences, until they come to Ellington Firth, which is full of bushes, so that he mightacratch himself in getting over the fences, of might have tumbled amongst the bushes. Morrill asked the Prisoner how his face came to be So bloody? he answered, " he had done it with some pins that were in his sleeve." Prkoner took his coat, and put it on, dmonted his mare, and rode of at lON speed. He was in -good time to get to. Wright's. It is understood he intends.to -prow that he went to hitt own father's, at a place called Ash. Head, and afterwards . to Summersides; he must , acceunt . fpr his' time, and Low he was empioyed g and if any attempt is made at any particular hour, lam prepared to negative it with evidence. When, he got ,to Wright's, the brother-in-law, he watfirt a strange condition ; his wife, on - aeeing his. face, questioned him how he had get, it so much scratch. ed. He told her " - he WO been-Carrying a wl9e to the bull that morning; and she was unlucky, for she had pushed him against a hedge." It was about eight-o'etuck When he arrived at Wright's,, and i.e stopped there that . night. In the availing they got iniormatioo of what oad bcblloo their f,therin-le,v. Wright prop'used to go to Eletnere tOsee,htei, the Prisoner acceded to it. They set of together uq foot for that purpose, and proceeded on the road to a village called Ellingstriog;. Ptigoecr wished to g to a public-house to spend 7 sit-penco ; Wright would not agree to the propoial„ sty they walked on until they came to Ellington Firth, and bedore they got' over it, Prisoner said to Wright, 1 , I've a jib to do for myself, and you may be going forward ; overtake, you." Wright walked forward, and the Prisoner's lotteriug incieaied Wright's suspicions. 'Wright arrived at Elemere berme the Prisoner.— Witco the Prisoner arrived, Wright adted hiM, " what had dcfaiped.nitn so Ivog ' he said, "ho had been talking with Ruben Jackson ;"' which is not true.; he nc‘er saw him. Ilea the circum stance of hiding the gun; why hide it, if he never used h I In consequence o,f Wright's suspicious, he ar.d other witnesses, who will be called belore you, proceeded.,iu company to 4llington . Firth ; and- the place whereabout the Prisoner kid supped in the morning being pointigl out by Wr;ght, within the ,spacc, of, fifty yards (tom that place the gun was foetid by a young man of the na:ne Of Haftley. The gun was hid in some bushes, and, fcirtunately tut public justice, part of the butt end was left bare...-. There is another very important circumstance, What the Prisoner said when the gun was shawl - ) to 11;rn —he denied it entirely ; by said he had never seen it ;he never had it Ili his hands before \V ny deny it ? because yvisit'tb;it very gun he had ex.ceted his wicked purpose— He afterwmds said he had felt afraid they shotild find it.
